Henrietta Lacks made an incredible contribution to medicine and science but her story is also tragic. Everyone has benefited from the medical advances that her cells made possible but everyone's gain was also her family's loss as she died of cervical cancer at 31, leaving behind young children just as Mark did.

I read that at some other event to recognize Henrietta they passed out t-shirts that said "Thank You, Henrietta" so maybe we can have t-shirts that say "Thank You, Mark" or maybe we can add that to the wristbands?
